Why teachers book us
Curriculum-friendly
Logic, lateral thinking and communication under time pressure — a genuinely useful enrichment trip.
Groups run side by side
Classes split into teams across rooms racing at once; staff can supervise from inside or outside the rooms.

Games are monitored throughout and our team briefs every group before the clock starts.
Weekday rates
Term-time weekdays are our quietest slots — ask about group pricing.
Safe, private and hosted from start to finish
